Chantel and Rajen did the impossible and pulled off a surprise wedding for 450 of their family and friends with the help of DreamGroup and their team of vendors.

While the happy couple got ready at Hotel Georgia and let their families in on the secret, guests enjoyed a custom menu served up by food trucks Roaming Dragon and Vij’s Railway Express. Chef Vikram Vij even made a personal appearance to the delight of the crowd.

The stunning white reception tent with all the intricate decor details and lighting took a small army a week to create from scratch at the Groom’s parent’s property. Absolutely everything had to be brought in!

Four months of intense planning and execution was well worth the looks of surprise and delight when guests realized they were attending a wedding and not an engagement party!

Amanda and Michael’s breathtaking ceremony and stand-up reception took place on the rooftop terrace of Science World, with Vancouver’s iconic skyline providing the perfect backdrop for this heartfelt wedding celebration.

The Bride’s Ukrainian heritage was integrated into the ceremony with the presentation of the traditional wedding bread (Korovai) to the Bride and Groom as well as a Svacha ceremony and the wearing of the Rushnyk (an embroidered towel filled with symbolic meaning).

This detail-infused luxury wedding of Victoria residents Jessica Kerr and David Gustavson took over a year to plan, included the finest and most thoughtful touches imaginable, and ultimately provided an end result that was truly exquisite in every sense of the word.

Client expectations and the calibre of the wedding was at an all-time high. From the thread count of the napkins to the bride’s custom Valentino gown, every painstaking detail featured was of the highest consideration and quality. Mainstream was out of the question and the bride’s taste was impeccable.

Jayson’s nautical-themed Bar Mitzvah kept guests dancing and entertained until the very last song!

After a traditional Havdalah service, guests were invited into the ballroom of the Beth Israel Synagogue which had been transformed by Evan and the team from Flowerz with blue and white-themed nautical vignettes. While the kids enjoyed first dibs at the delicious food stations by Nava, the adults were mesmerized by the magician skills of Justin Gilbert and the musical stylings of Jordan and Taylor from Hot Wax Entertainment.

And who can forget the selfie polaroid booth, airbrush tattoos, and FlipBook favours? This Bar Mitzvah had it all and was topped off by a nautical-inspired candy bar!

Raphaela and her team gave this young man a night he – and his family and friends – won’t soon forget!
